The stereotype of the woman who stay at home, cooking, washing the dishes, raising the children disappeared as quickly as the vision of man being the only family’s support. The world is less curious when things seams to be the same. Changing society and the role of both genders causes sometimes funny situations and NOT funny incomprehension between this two equal but different sexes. Understanding, accepting and loving the behaviors<span>&nbsp; </span>and differences between men and women can be a serious problem.<span>&nbsp; </span>Some of the most obvious differences can be illustrated by watching typical reaction of men and women in particular situations. This essay will clearly give you some examples of this <span>diversity.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"><span><span>&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"><span><span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Each gender approaches problems in a totally different manner than the other one. This problems can touch things like: using bathrooms and telephones, dressing up, bringing up children and many, many more. First of them, which can be </span></span><span>discussed in his essay are colors. It is generally known that colors can be fully distinguished only by women. Men just think “blue is blue, and it is nice”, “green is green, and it is also nice”, so why do not put them together and wear green shoes and blue trousers? Such blend gives the impression of being neglected, tasteless and tawdry, what create the feeling of disguise in/on/at the opposite sex. For petticoats it is obvious this <span>&nbsp;</span>two colors do not fit each other and look good only in the nature. </span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Next thing worth consideration are children. A mother knows everything about her offspring. Her knowledge about them include their friends, favorite foods and drinks, girlfriends (or boyfriends), planes for the future, material needs, clothes or dentist appointments. A mother knows what is dangerous for her child and not recommended in care of it. A father usually knows the number of people living at home, place of hidden sweets and alcohol and time of football matches on “Euro sport” or some local television. </span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Men are everlasting babies. Little girls play with toys and dolls at least to the time they reach about twelve years old. Than they lose interest. Men inversely, only formally. As they grow up, become older, their toys become more and more complicated, more and more expensive and more and more impractical. Buying ingenious toys for children and forbidding them to play with them without presence of father can be a good example how man hide their childish outbursts and minority.</span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"><span>On the other hand some of the character features of women’s have not changed since being a nine-year old girls. This is for example their mania of dressing up. A statistic woman is able to dress up even 5 to 6 times a day! It happens when she goes shopping, goes to the swimming pool, cooks a meal, meets her friends, goes to the doctor, feeds children… </span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"><span>&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Second example is when she goes shopping. During this luxurious activity she buys a numerous number of items, that she really don’t need, but they are on sale-half-priced. Later, in her bathroom are 186 strange items. In contrast man dresses only for weddings or funerals, buy things he need only for elementary needs (in bathroom he has six items: soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, shaving cream, electric razor and a towel. He is not able to name or idenyify more than 15 of woman’s bathroom staff.</span></p> <p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span>Some psychologists have noticed that women speaks in the whole paragraphs, but men speaks in words, sentences more possibly. It can be seen in doing some of the activities like using the telephone. Men use it as a communication tool- they send short messages and have short calls in order to załatwić sprawy. The opposite sex as soon as she reaches home after four-day visiting friend, she calls her “only to say she’s on place” and talk with<span>&nbsp; </span>her and gossips for another two or three hours.</span></p> <p><span>Thinking of getting married, notice that women expect man he will change after wedding, but he doesn’t. A man hopes<span>&nbsp; </span>his wife will not change, but she does. Think twice before making up your decision.</span></p>http://www.englishforums.com/English/LetterOfRecommendation/gqnwv/post.htmTue, 04 Nov 2008 17:04:50 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:583631gorodmanSomebody, please, check my recommendation letter. The deadline is the 6th of November.<br /><br />Dear Sir/Madam,<br /><br />The academic reference is provided at the request of *** who is applying for the *** Program.<br /><br />I have known *** for 2 years as he has taken a number of courses on Higher Mathematics which I teach, i.e. ***<br /><br />I can say that it is not quite easy to get an excellent mark in the course examinations on the above sciences. A student is supposed to find solutions to original and sophisticated problems which were not considered on workshops during the semester. *** has successfully solved these difficult problems and brilliantly passed all the tests and got excellent marks for all examinations being quite creative and original in his answers.<br /><br />*** is a very industrious student. He had been always performing his homework, though it was not obligatory. He is not afraid to assume the responsibility. At my classes he always tackled the difficult problems while others did not do so being afraid to make a mistake.<br /><br />My hobby is a football, and sometimes students invite me to take part in their matches. I remember a match, when *** was a captain of the opposite team. He scored the goal at the last minute of the match, thus bringing the score draw. Then, in penalty shots, he scored the last penalty and brought victory for his team. It shows that in a critical moment *** is not afraid of taking responsibility and being the leader. Although, during the football match *** can sometimes be rather violent in everyday life he is a very kind and caring friend with a good sense of humour.<br /><br />Based on my professional experience I hold *** as an industrious, intelligent, well organized and easy-going person with a considerable willpower. I strongly believe that *** is an appropriate candidate for admission to the *** Program.<br /><br />If you have any further questions with regard to his background or qualifications, please feel free to contact me. <br /><br />Yours sincerely,http://www.englishforums.com/English/FavouriteSportGameFootball/gpjcx/post.htm#577470Sat, 18 Oct 2008 04:39:20 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:577470AlpheccaStarsYour English is excellent; well done! I have made a few minor suggestions.<br /><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A game is an activity involving one or more players. Games are played primarily for entertainment or enjoyment, but may also serve as exercise. Everyone in this world has their own favorite games, so do I. My favorite game is football. I often play this with my friend<b>s</b> in the evening. I like this game because it is exciting and challenging.&nbsp; </p> <p>Football is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. It is a ball game played on a rectangular grass field with a goal at each end. The objective of the game is to score by maneuvering the ball into the opposing <b>team&#39;s </b>goal. The winner is the team which has scored <b>the</b> most goals at the end of the match.</p> <p>Football is played at a professional level all over the world<b>. </b><strike>, and m</strike><b> M</b>illions of people regularly go to football stadium<b>s</b> to follow their favorite team, whilst millions more avidly watch the game on television. A very large number of people also play football at an amateur level. In many parts of the world<b>,</b> football evokes great passions and plays an important role in the life of individual fans, local communities, and even nations; it is therefore often claimed to be the most popular sport in the world.</p> <p>There are many worldwide international <b>football</b> competition<span>s</span><strike> of football</strike>. One of <b>these</b> <strike>the major international competitions in football </strike>is the World Cup organized by Fédération Internationale de Football Association. Over 190 national teams compete in qualifying tournaments within the scope of continental confederations for a place in the finals. The finals tournament, which is held every four years, now involves 32 national teams competing. The next World Cup takes place in Germany 2006.</p> <p>The <b>football </b>star I admire<strike>d</strike> most <strike>in football</strike> is Edson Arantes do Nascimento, nicknamed Pelé<b>. </b><strike>,</strike><b>Pele</b> is a former Brazilian football player <strike>and </strike>thought by many to be the finest player of all time. Often considered the <strike>complete </strike><b>perfect </b>attacking player, he was completely two-footed, a prolific finisher, exceptional at dribbling and passing, and was a remarkably good tackler for a forward. He was also famed for his speed and strength on the ball. Since his full retirement he has served as an ambassador for the sport.</p> <p>There <b>are</b> <strike>is </strike>many reason<b>s</b> football is my favorite game. I wish to become a professional football player. I learnt teambuilding, discipline as well as teamwork through playing football. </p><br />http://www.englishforums.com/English/CompoundWordList/gxqbx/post.htm#574563Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:24:29

This would encourage more attacking football. If each team has the same total of shots on target, then number of corners should be used to decide it.</p><p>All these statistics are monitored, as those who take positions on them with betting houses know only too well. <br /></p><p>Anyway, one thing&#39;s for sure - England won&#39;t win.&nbsp;http://www.englishforums.com/English/CorrectionOfAnEssay/grjmm/post.htm#503943Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:10:36 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:503943learner_of_englishHello,</p><p>&nbsp;Thanks for your quick answer !<br /> </p><p>I didn&#39;t realise my sentences were so short, I corrected them so I hope it is better now.&nbsp; I added numbers to empasis my main points. </p><p>Could you help me to correct my grammar ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Through History, we’ve seen that American people are proud and want to manage the world. Meanwhile, French people know how to live and they have a more collectivism mentality. According to several studies, the US is a more “masculine” country than France. We’re about to study if this is a reality or not.</span></p> <p><span>1°/ First, we can compare educational values between these two countries.</span></p> <p><span>The American people educational values are rather funded on individualism.</span></p> <p><span>Each person must show his value to be recognized, the merit is more important than the <i>link formed (relationship)</i> with others. Pupils and students have to be independent, self-confident, their teacher assists them in work but they don’t give solutions. They also have to be competitive.</span></p> <p><span>For instance, intercollegiate sporting events are promoted in American football and basketball. These competitions attract not only young people but all sport fans.</span></p> <p><span>In France, educational values are rather funded on collectivism.</span></p> <p><span>The ties between people are privileged, it doesn’t matter if a person <i>undergoes many failures </i>his family and his friends will always support him. Devotion in relationships is essential because people don’t stand to be alone.</span></p> <p><span>As students, we’re used to partying several times by week, we enter in student associations to share our ideals with others and we think that is the victory of groups which is the more important.</span></p> <p><span>For example, in soccer games, <i>one player goal is the equip goal</i>. </span>(but 1 joueur est le but de l’équipe)</p> <p><span>According to Geert Hofstede (a press article writer), these points show that the US is a more masculine country than France. I think we can reveal there is another aspect of this topic with gender ideas.</span></p> <p><span>2°/ The power that is a more masculine idea can be illustrated by American will to possess big things.</span></p> <p><span>Indeed, American cars are big like <i>4x4 or pick up</i>, they like to eat big burgers.</span></p> <p><span>They use an amazing budget for their movies with many special effects and they often contain fights like Rambo, Terminator or Rocky. Each time, we have the feeling that American glory is bet and it’s always American people who win.</span></p> <p><span>Then, American comics imply heroes with a super strength and a nice physical appearance like Superman or Hulk.</span></p> <p><span>On the contrary, French culture hires the small things and products are adapted to family which is a more feminine idea.</span></p> <p><span>There are small French cars for young people the Twingo, the Clio or the Smart and we’re used to taking a little break with a small cup of coffee.</span></p> <p><span>In France, there are often humoristic or romantic movies like movie of the moment “Bienvenue chez les ch’tis” which is the best French humoristic movie of the year.</span></p> <p><span>We’re also used to reading comics like “Astérix” or “Tintin” who are not really superheroes.</span></p> <p><span>As we see through all these examples America owns more masculine ideas than France and we really saw a gap between these two mentalities.</span></p> <p><b><span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>3°/ </span></b><span>However, the feminine culture in France is limited.</span></p> <p><span>We also have a competitive policy as we se through a job or college interview. The selection is tough, there are some oral or written exams and many people are refused.</span></p> <p><span>The vision of soccer as a “sweet” sport is far from reality because many players are hurt during the games. </span></p> <p><span>Furthermore, there are French action movies like “Les rivières pourpres”, “Nikita” and “Leon” which compete with American super production.</span></p> <p><span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>In my opinion, the association between masculine culture with men who search for success and power, and feminine culture with women who look after their family is a stereotype. It tends to disappear today, women are more and more independent and they can be company’s bosses or minister.</span></p> <p><span>For instance, the French company CHANEL is lead by a woman.</span></p> <p><span>To conclude, obviously the US is a more “masculine” culture than France. But in my view, there isn’t a best culture because self-confidence and relationships are essential to have a happy live.</span></p> <p><span>We can wonder if the promotion of power and success could not lead to abuse.</span></p> <p>Sincerely, <br />
